The Department for Transport (DfT), Network Rail (NwR), Oxfordshire County Council, and Oxford City Council are collaborating on a project to secure passenger services to the Cowley Branch Line, Oxford (CBL). Currently, this line is used for freight services for BMW MINI.

This project aims to establish two new stations: Oxford South, serving Oxford Science Park, and Oxford East, serving Oxford Business Park.

We have completed the Single Option design and the Outline Business Case for this project.

We are now seeking £4.5 million in Levelling Up Funding. This investment is crucial for delivering the full business case and addressing local connectivity needs, with the goal of commissioning the service by December 2026.
